Weekly Reflection
Searching for the Kingdom of God
Jesus tells two short parables which reveal that repentance is required to enter the Kingdom of God; both are in Matthew 13: (1) The parable of the buried treasure – the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; overjoyed, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. (2) The parable of the pearl of great price – the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful…

The Easter Season
Once again, the beautiful season of Easter is upon us. In our faith that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, we have many things to hope for. What I hope for our parish community is undisrupted peace, spiritual growth and unity. But there is something more that I hope for – that each and every family in our parish may walk in the light of faith, in the assurance of hope and in the right path of love – so…
Palm Sunday
March 29, 2026
Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem: When they drew near Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tethered, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them here to me. And if anyone should say anything to you, reply, ‘The master has need of them.’ Then he will send them at once.”…

Easter Vigil in the Holy Night
April 4, 2026
The Easter Vigil is one of the most important celebrations in the liturgical year. In the Catholic Church, catechumens are baptized and received into full communion with the Church at the Easter Vigil. The liturgy consists of four major parts. The first part is the Liturgy of Light or Lucernarium; the celebration begins outside the church after sunset, where the Paschal Candle is blessed. The Paschal Candle is then processed into the church. Inside the church, smaller candles held by…
Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord
April 5, 2026
St. Augustine once said that there is nothing great in believing that Christ died, because non-Christians also believe it, but the great thing is in believing the Resurrection of Christ, which is the foundation of Christian faith. For the Christian, the Resurrection is the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise when he said, “I have the power to lay down my life, and I have the power to take it up again (Jn 10:17-18),” and “destroy this temple and in three days…
